God, I love this so much. I've always loved... whatever the English term is for those types of SciFi where the government controls parts of people's lives they have no right to control. And especially the kind where the resistance win in the end. Except this is so much more... well, I want to say well-written, but that might get me smacked by a lot of people with more appreciation for the classics than I hve, so I'll settle for "written much more to my tastes".
This is a really scary thought -- there are just too many people in America right now who would agre with a chip like that, and there are probably even some in the government.
I loved Rodney's anger when he finally realized what he had agreed to by letting them implant the chip, what John and every other gay man in the military had gone through. Even if the anger came a bit late.
The scene where Rodney and John were deliberately touching for the first time just broke my heart -- for Rodney, it's all new, but John has lived with that, with nothing but that for almost his whole life, and it's just so ridiculously little they can do, and even that is already almost too much.
I loved the sex scene at the end, the way the conditioning made them almost completely unable to actually do anything at first, and the way every little touch felt like so much more.
Doctor Iselin -- God, people like that make me so incredubly, unbearably angry, even just in fic. I wanted to reach out and strangle her right through the screen.
